对保罗书信的研究已经越来越多地吸收了社会科学研究的成果,特别是人类学和社会学,因而提出了各种新观点。社会科学的研究方法是严谨地把文本与语境密切地联系起来,这种方式近年来已被学者普遍采用。学者们关注的问题和重心不再只是传统的保罗及其神学,也是有关保罗和早期基督徒生活的文化、政治和社会领域;保罗和早期基督徒与当时希腊—罗马社会的关系;早期基督徒的社会结构;及其如何对待权柄和祭礼等问题。这些方法将有助于当今读者对早期基督徒居住的日常生活世界获得更深入的了解,可以更有把握地将其神学思想放在比较具体的社会背景中。
Studies of Paul’s Epistles have increasingly absorbed the fruits of social science research, especially anthropology and sociology, and have therefore put forth new ideas. The method of social science research is to rigorously link the text with the context, which has been widely adopted by scholars in recent years. The scholarly concerns and focus are no longer just traditional Paul and his theology, but also the cultural, political and social aspects of the life of Paul and early Christians; the relationship of Paul and early Christians with the then Greek-Roman society; the early Christians Social structure; and how to deal with issues of authority and worship. These methods will help today’s readers gain a deeper understanding of the everyday world inhabited by early Christians and be more confident in placing their theological ideas in more concrete social contexts.
